A New Reconstruction Enthusiast.

It was funny to me growing up in DC and having Shrine of the Sacred Heart for punk shows & then leaving DC. "Wait, punk shows in a Catholic Church basement is not a common occurrence? What kinda social mission are you guys on? Oh. Oh no."

Love dogs, hate the people who put zero thought into being responsible about having a dog. Not only in the context of other people, but for the poor dog itself.

The first time I saw this painting at the National Gallery I was stopped cold by the glint of reflected light off the thumbnail of her left hand. Not my favorite painting, though I like it an awful lot, but for my money perhaps the best singular brushstroke I've ever seen.

No.

Go go go go!

These are the names of our PM's if we lost the American Revolution.

"I'm too manly to read a book marketed to women." Fuck that guy, he needs to grow up.

lol. No Kings includes Cuomo too.

A fiberglass statue of a triceratops, Uncle Beazley, at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The statue has a copper and sort of verdigris patina. Young children are climbing the statue. Its a Fall day, there are trees in the background.

There's a Frankie Norman Warsaw Stubbs out there I don't have? Immediate purchase.

I felt that "be well," multiple states away.

100%

Also, it's bullshit to say to people "don't worry, months or years later your benefits (may) be returned to you through court order. Anyway, have fun planning out your future. Good luck!"

I'm not sure I'd want to make the argument that a traitorous Administration continuing to fuck with the benefits earned by the patriotic service of transgender Americans is a distraction.

In the Senate, van Hollen is the only one (I think?) who's grappled with & regretted his one yes on a Trump nom. And his "issue" focus will have him looking better and better every day.
It's a deeply held belief, not an expediency. Feels like he's the only Senator with a chance.

I'd take that contest and ticket, I think. Walz has the mocking contempt for R's that they deserve, but he seems too avuncular for where I think people will be in a couple years.

Wes Moore is in the "I like what I've seen so far," category.

Jesus. Do any ultra-wealthy people have any taste at all? They're all so fucking boring.

Me?

You personally can solve the activity problem by just posting this type of bullshit every day.

I thought Bruno Mars Grenade was the name of a song for a second there. That would've been a great title.

Look, I can get about 2 shares per month of SCHB for one month of FT coverage and change. And then I just read Sharon Kuruvilla's feed for free.

Greater Canada welcomes the new province of Colorado.

I have some ideas.

Plus a sizable minority of whatever base he has being little more than disaffected contrarians, and I genuinely feel like his coalition would have blown up by February 1st.

His team would have alienated every person in the Senatorial caucus, except for maybe Biden, half to 3/4 of the Dems in the House. Add his staffing woes to trying to fill out the Cabinet, sub-Cabinet, and every other non-career job in the government.

Oh gosh. I've always gone with Tad Devine (who worked with Paul Manafort and Rick Gates in Ukraine) being Bernie's chief strategist in 2016.

Whether or not I like Sanders is kind of immaterial to the fact that he would accomplish nothing as President because his ability to staff is terrible.

Hell, add in gambling from your phone, iPad, computer etc, and all these casino owners and operators who were pro-Trump have dug their own grave.

Add in the ongoing destruction of tourism and conventions held in Las Vegas and that just exacerbates the problem.

Really feels like this is a "Trump Administration is to blame," and not younger Americans. By this I mean, why would any of the high rollers, moderate gamblers, or anyone else who regularly visits Las Vegas from overseas, risk it now? The whales should be fine, but not anyone else.

Why was she not allowed to run against Bernie? Bernie dropped out and endorsed Biden too.
